Outer Terror, An Arcade Bullet Hell Homage To B-Movie Horror, Hits PC Soon

Developer Salt & Pixel and publisher VoxPop Games have revealed Outer Terror, a new arcade bullet hell with roguelite elements coming to PC soon. It will be released sometime in the year and there is only two more months until 2022 so we don’t need to wait long before checking it out. 

Outer Terror draws its inspirations straight away: horror comics and horror B-movie movies from the 1980s and the 1990s. There is also a little bit of arcade fun. To face waves of enemies, choose among one of 10 survivors. Each survivor has their unique skills and weapons. The game can be played by you alone, or you can join a two-player team via co-op.

A press release stated that Outer Terror offers a unique experience for solo and co-op players. It features randomized weapons, upgrade options, enemy patterns and different areas. You thought the safe zone would remain in the exact same place as it was last time. You might be wrong. To find the treasure, you’ll need to kill your enemies. 

Outer Terror offers you a variety of chapters that will challenge your characters. You can either upgrade or acquire new attributes for your character along the way. 

To increase your damage you can stack multiple weapons at once and shoot them all together. Additionally, upgrades can be combined with stacked weapons to provide “hilariously debilitating perks”, which will allow you to efficiently take down the cosmic evils.

 

Outer Terror is set to launch on VoxPop Games Store this year. The demo for the game will debut sometime in January. VoxPop Games interviewed us earlier in the year about how they helped fund Weaponeer. The game, which was developed by a 17year old, can be played using one hand. 

Here are some Outer Terror highlights straight from Salt & Pixel: 

  • Chaos in Pixelated Bullet Hell: combine weapons and automatically fire as you wade through unrelenting waves of enemies (best keep moving though or you might go splat).

  • Cast worthy of a B-movieChoose from 10 survivors that are reminiscent of horror classics. Discover how these survivors survived. Level up your skills and make enemies boom.

  • Multiple game modesYou can choose between story mode with side quests and arcade mode. Or, you could play it solo or together in an online or couch-co-op.

  • A constant remix: roguelite elements make each playthrough its own gory adventure with randomized weapons, upgrade options, maps, and even enemy paths.

  • This is a throwback tale to fall in love with: play through 5 chapters of story inspired by classic horror comics and films with a big bad straight out of a Lovecraftian tale.
